There is a news for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T users to cherish at this moment. OnePlus is officially rolling out Android Nougat update and it is Hydrogen OS 3.0. OnePlus usually packs with Oxygen based Android but unusually, OnePlus 3 and PnePlus 3T users are receiving Hydrogen 3.0 OTA update.

But as of now, it is reportedly receiving users in China only and the firmware has support for English and Chinese languages. But, if you are a kind of person who likes to switch things up especially when it is official, here is an alternate method to update your phone to the latest Hydrogen 3.0 operating system.

Users reported that the Hydrogen OS increased the battery backup of the phone and added call recording as an additional feature.

As the users reported that the Hydrogen OS is not packed with any of the Google apps, you can download the Gapps package and flash it too. If you don't like all these flashing procedures, you can alternately download the play store app from XDA to your PC and then install it on your phone.

Any help or query if you require at all, there is XDA forum ready to help you sort out the issue.

To recall, in September 2016, OnePlus had announced the merging of Oxygen and Hydrogen OS to let them work mutually to ease out the things and bring the best output. Hydrogen OS has its built for China and Oxygen OS is for rest of the countries. After the merger, all the OnePlus phones has Oxygen based OS on its devices.
